Route description
The southern terminus of SR 75 is located at a junction with U.S. Route 70 in Duncan. It initially heads northeast from this intersection but curves back towards the northwest. As it continues towards the northwest, the highway passes through the communities of Sheldon, Apache Grove and York. The northern terminus of SR 75 is located at a junction with U.S. Route 191 and SR 78 in Three Way near the Greenlee County Airport.[1][2]
History
SR 75 was designated as a state highway between Duncan and Clifton in 1932.[3] In 1935, the route was solely a gravel road,[4] but by 1938, the southern half had been paved. However, the northern half remained a gravel road.[5] The highway was shortened to its present northern terminus when U.S. Route 666 (now U.S. Route 191) was relocated to an alignment further south. The section north of the new junction with U.S. Route 666 was transferred into Route 666.[6]
